Organised annually by Kenilworth and District Agricultural Society (KADAS) since 1944, it will include air rifle and clay pigeon shooting competitions, classic cars parade and a Leicester Tigers Big Boot challenge which tests competitors’ high catching ability.

There will also be children’s amusements, trade stands, food and drink outlets, and a new food market.

How much: Advance tickets £10, or £12.50 on the gate. Free for under 16s.

3. Fun for Under 5s: Early Years Forest School Compton Verney Art Gallery, near Stratford-on-Avon. Every Thursday until July 16, 12.30 - 2.30pm

Two hours of outdoor play and discovery exploring the nearby woods. All sessions are run by a qualified Forest School Leader and take place in all weather conditions.

If it’s wet Teeny Weeny Wednesdays is an indoor soft play session for under 5s in term time, 11am - 3pm.

Compton Verney has just beaten off stiff competition from more than 800 nominations across the UK to secure a place on the Kids In Museums Family Friendly Award 2015 long-list. Look out for Park Life! a special programme of events, walks, talks and family activities celebrating the art gallery’s stunning Capability Brown Parkland from June 9 - 25.

If you’re lucky enough to have tickets for this sell-out event, Cook and Line will talk you on a wild high seas adventure. Join in with songs and salutes throughout the performance, with a chance to meet your favourite characters afterwards. It ties-in with The Story of Children’s TV exhibition.

This may not be traditionally classed as family fun but for many fashion-conscious older children and teenagers living close-by this is a big deal.

On launch day customers in the queue will receive a wristband entitling them to 25% off all products in store. In-store fun activities include goody bags, a DJ, balloon-modelling and face painting. The store will occupy two floors offering H&M collections for women, men, teenagers and children.

7. The King of Pop – The Legend Continues, The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. June 5, 7.45pm

Navi, who is officially recognised as the world’s No.1 Michael Jackson impersonator and the only tribute ever to be chosen by Michael Jackson himself, recreates all the classics from the early Jackson 5 songs to Thriller and Smooth Criminal.

Michael chose Navi to perform at two of his birthday parties and actually gave him a standing ovation after one of his performances and due to his resemblance to the star was often hired as a body double.
